Description: Head Start and Early Head Start are comprehensive child development, health and social service programs for low-income families. Since 1965, Head Start has been serving the needs of disadvantaged infants, children, and pregnant women across America.
Over 1400 children, from prenatal through age 5, are enrolled in Community Action’s programs each year throughout Ramsey County. Options include full-day, half-day, therapeutic, and inclusion classrooms, and home-visiting programs. Families who meet our eligibility requirements and families with children with special needs are encouraged to apply.
The prenatal to age 3 program, Early Head Start, offers a home-based design for families. Early Head Start Home Visitors meet regularly with parents and children to nurture child development and parenting skills. Families who qualify for childcare assistance may also choose full-day, center-based enhanced childcare for children ages six weeks to five years.
Head Start children between the ages of 3 to 5 attend center-based programming. Classes are offered in either half-day or full-day options at centers conveniently located throughout Ramsey County. Eight centers operate half-day classes, 4 days a week from September through late May. A full-day, full-year option is also available at the Bigelow Head Start Center, or through partnership contracts with community childcare facilities.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

They allowed my child to be unregistered from the school without my knowledge or consent. Since she has down syndrome she has public workers "helping" her and discussing with me. I wanted her to continue here but without my consent, they discussed and allowed my daughter to be removed from the school. If they dare to do something like this just imagine what else could be done to your children. My child was denied and removed from education I have the right to choose from her, yet they allowed this. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else child and I hope nothing lighter is happening as well. Who knows maybe since without parent consent they remove a child from school without parents consent they can give your child to someone else or deny them real education. It is a right parents and the child has and it has been crossed.
